When someone sits for twenty minutes or more, blood begins to pool in the lower half of the body. Within seconds of standing up, the blood flow to the brain is increased by 15%. In other words, if students have been sitting in a classroom for more than twenty minutes, the blood in the brain has decreased by 15%! Board Relay reverses this trend by getting students up and moving in a fun, fast-paced instructional experience. As an added bonus, Board Relay does not require any advance preparation or purchasing on the part of the teacher.
Watch this short video clip to see Board Relay in action in a 5th grade co-taught math class. Then think about how to use it in your class, no matter what you teach.
